Document Summary
Chara elegans is a species of green alga. It is multicellular, and it resembles some species of land plants. This is because of what their stems and leaves look like. They are freshwater plants that grow underwater, attached to the bottoms of things like lakes. They reproduce vegetatively, and in a sexual manner. It is a gametophyte that is rough to the touch. Amborella is a rare type of shrub or small tree. They can grow up to 25 feet, and they have basic evergreen leaves. The only species in this genus is amborella trichopoda. Amborella is part of the flowering plant species. Their wood doesn"t have the vessels that most of the other flowering plants do have, so that makes them different. Amborella is different than one of the other plantae kingdoms , moss, because it produces flowers, and it has bark. Both amborella and chara elegans are classified as plant species, but they are very different.
